We were never 8 points clear.

while we were ahead 8

ok

By the time they played their game in hand, they drew it having already won the league to move 8 points clear. Or 8 points "ahead" as there's apparently a major difference. Their game in hand had nothing to do with you bottling, it could have outright not have been played and they still beat you by 4 points. It was completely inconsequential to the title race because you had already fucked it by then.

Injuries aren't an excuse, but they're a reason for sure.

Agreed, injures are reasons. Other reasons are capitulation during the most important period of a season. There's a good term for that.

Certainly throwing away the leads we did wasn't good, but I'm more than okay with what we did last year considering the injuries, the youngest team in the league, and a manager in his first ever job competing against the greatest manager of all time with the greatest club side money could ever buy.

No one's saying you can't be ok with it. Just getting into the situation to actually bottle the league was impressive, no one expected you to be that good. The season before that I saw the team you rolled out first game against Brentford and laughed, thinking you'd never even make top4 again any time soon. You proved a lot of people wrong, enjoyed a good season that set the scene for a promising future, and were outright better than the best team in the league for 75% of the season. But you still bottled it.

The term 'bottlers' is so lazy and harsh. It's absolute anti-thinking and you should demand better from yourself.

It's an overused term coz pretty much everyone whose ever lost now gets called it, but saying you bottled it here is completely valid. Getting upset at the term doesn't change that. It's existed for decades before footballing twitter/reddit decided to grind the term into the ground.

Only one of those things can be true.

That's bullshit tho. You were 8 points clear with 9 to go, it didn't matter what City did from that point onwards, if you hadn't fucked up, you're champions. Only one of those games faced you against city, you failed to win 5 more of them You controlled your own destiny and fucked it massively at the most crucial time.

The same can be said for the two clubs that come up short this year. They would've both lost to an absolutely ELITE team and there'd be almost no shame in it. It's why before this week I said if we finish on 94 and Klopp's Liverpool win out and get 96, you just have to hold your hands up and say fair play.

Agreed, but that isn't what happened last season.

ExThaNemesis posted...

I actually think the experience from what happened last year (and adding Declan Rice) will help us get through it this year.

Agreed kinda. I don't think you'll do it this season, City just don't lose title races. But there were two contenders last season and you got 0 points from those two matches. There's 3 contenders this year and you already have 7 points from them, which is already better than what Liverpool or City can do. That's the hardest bit, the slip ups against the rest of the league will become less as your team matures and you continue to add pieces to it. You just can't have another capitulation that sees you finish a distant second/third after being up their ass the whole season coz it's the same shit we've all seen in the previous seasons i mentioned. It'll just add to the pressure when you're next in that situation. Like England with penalties, the more you fail at something the harder it comes to eventually overcome it.

Love how people will give City a pass for that, but we're bottlers for losing the league when we had to put Rob Holding in for William Saliba at the end of last season lol

Teams get called bottlers for a lot for things they shouldn't but you failed to win 6 of your last 9 games, threw a 2-0 lead twice in consecutive games to kickstart that run, lost 7-2 on aggregate to the team you were competing against, and ultimately threw away a massive points lead that very few have ever matched. Bottlers is a fair term here. Saying you had "an" injury won't shake that.

Hardly the first time you've done it either 2008, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2016, 2017, falling apart during the business end of the season despite being contenders up until them has been a reoccurring theme for Arsenal.

They were one of the early EN small corpos, They never had a Nene Amano, Pipkin Pippa, Rin Penrose type success story tho to elevate the company. still subbed to Shiki even if I dont watch her much. Probs outright the best zatsudan in the EN industry when I used to watch her.
Luto was quite big once upon a time but she kept on going on hiatus, I personally thought she always sucked and just got a buff coz she was sisters with Gura. I know Iku from her Moona association, she's cute but meh. Yura was one of Ksons first en collabs after leaving Holo but I don't know much else about her. I remember really liking Rita's voice but found her quite uninteresting outside of that which sucked coz man that voice was great. I probs would've liked Sara more if she joined earlier, had stopped paying attention to small corpos but she seemed cool.

Yeah, it's fun to stick it to the big corporation and trust the underdog, but realistically the truth is likely a little more in the middle. But we'll never know the full truth, which makes NijiEN's weird oversharing over this all the more awkward.

I'm expecting Niji to have had "fair" reasons to terminate Selen. One thing right in Vox's comments was her constantly publically throwing management under the bus and she did confirm she was recording colleagues without them knowing which isn't legal even without bad intentions. .
The defamation against her is absolutely unacceptable regardless of that though, just don't fucking do it unprovoked. Not that interested in any statement Niji makes on the situation until they address how stupid and unfair that was.

Whats the Rushia drama, soz. Completely out of the loop.

Niji merch is usually just badges and keychains. Doesn't cost them anything, they see very little of the profits from it, and they don't get any say in when its released/what it is.

Yeah, there definitely seems to be more global unity (is that the right word?) between the Hololive branches

I haven't seen much in the way of EN-JP collabs for Nijisanji, it's all separate

It depends on the liver but En collabs with all of the jp, id, cn and kr regularly. From JP, Nagao did an entire series of short half hour streams introducing EN livers to JP audiences. Oliver is considered an unofficial member of EN. Chigusa and Lain have loads of collabs, Alban/Toko/Furen/Seffyna, Ren & Debi. Kotoka and Meloco probs collab with JP more than they do EN. All Lazulight 3D streams had JP members appear.
The original poster is right, EN fans care much less about the other branches than HoloEN fans do but there's always been plenty of interactivity between EN and the other branches.

Man I keep trying to write a post trying to provide context but I don't even know where to start. Even if Nijisanji is in the right regarding the original disputes (which I seriously doubt) it is just mind-boggling how much they've needlessly made things worse from a PR standpoint.

Pretty much my take on this.
Even if they have valid reasons to fire them, why would you bother starting a war over it. They did the same to Zaion last year, but no one really cared coz Zaion was still new.
